Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A structure for attaching an ultrasound sensor to a side portion of a vehicle includes a bracket via which the ultrasound sensor is attached to face the ground under the floor of the vehicle and to be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal plane such that water drops adhering to the ultrasound sensor flow downward.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An attachment structure for attaching an ultrasound sensor to a side portion of a vehicle, comprising: a bracket via which the ultrasound sensor is attached such that the ultrasound sensor faces a ground under a floor of the vehicle; and wherein the ultrasound sensor be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a horizontal plane such that a water drop adhering to the ultrasound sensor flows downward, and wherein the bracket includes a bottom plate portion and a through-hole formed in the bottom plate portion, and the ultrasound sensor is attached to the through-hole. 2. The attachment structure for attaching the ultrasound sensor according to claim 1 , wherein: the bracket includes: an attaching portion extending upward from the bottom plate portion and attached to the vehicle; wherein the bottom plate portion is inclined at the predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal plane. 3. The attachment structure for attaching the ultrasound sensor according to claim 2 , wherein the bracket includes a longitudinal plate portion extending upward from an outer end portion of the bottom plate portion in a vehicle width direction and extending in a vehicle length direction of the bottom plate portion. 4. The attachment structure for attaching the ultrasound sensor according to claim 3 , wherein: the bottom plate portion is inclined at the predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal plane such that an outer side in the vehicle width direction is low and an inner side in the vehicle width direction is high; and a gap is left between the longitudinal plate portion and the attaching portion. 5. The attachment structure for attaching the ultrasound sensor according to claim 3 , wherein the longitudinal plate portion has an opening. 6. The attachment structure for attaching the ultrasound sensor according to claim 2 , wherein the bottom plate portion is inclined at the predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal plane such that an outer side in the vehicle width direction is low and an inner side in the vehicle width direction is high. 7. An attachment structure for attaching an ultrasound sensor to a side portion of a vehicle, comprising: a bracket via which the ultrasound sensor is attached such that the ultrasound sensor faces a ground under a floor of the vehicle; and wherein the ultrasound sensor be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a horizontal plane such that a water drop adhering to the ultrasound sensor flows downward, the bracket includes a bottom plate portion to which the ultrasound sensor is attached, and the bottom plate portion is inclined at the predetermined angle with respect to the horizontal plane such that an outer side in the vehicle width direction is low and an inner side in the vehicle width direction is high.
